{"Image DocumentName": "POST COLONIAL ERAThe post independence land policy in Nigeria exhibited dual features and characteristics.", "Image ImageDescription": "In Southern Nigeria, the policy was dualism with customary land tenure system operating side by side and attimes overlapping with the English land tenure system. The Northern policy was characterized by a paternalistic system which essentially nationalized all lands turning former owners into tenants. There was no national land policy for the whole country. This encouraged the development of multifarious land legislations and policies in the country. The Land Use Act 1978 introduced a uniform land tenure legislation throughout the country but, without, unfortunately, a uniform administrative and implementation policy.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
